Reviews

  • Gran Turismo 5 Time Trial Challenge

    It's free and there's a chance you could become a racing superstar, so what's not to like? Well, the wait for GT5 proper, for one.

  • Mini Ninjas

    Whether you're big or small, there's a lot to like about these little ninjas and their lengthy journey.

  • Samsung Blue Earth

    Treehuggers can now rejoice as Samsung has finally revealed details about its Blue Earth mobile phone; a handset with a solar charging panel over the battery.

  • Gran Turismo 5

    We know now that it's scheduled for release in Japan in March 2010, so we headed down to creator Kazunori Yamauchi's offices to have a chat about what we can expect from his new baby.

  • Audi R8 Spyder

    Predictably, the R8 convertible is a good looking car with V10 muscle to match. We weren't expecting seatbelt-mounted microphones though.

  • Lexus IS250C Prestige (2009)

    Featuring a folding metal hard-top, the IS250C converts from closed coupe to al fresco cruiser in around 20 seconds. Shame then that it suffers from an ungainly butt.

  • Mitsubishi i MiEV

    Tall, lanky and cute as a bean, the Mitsubishi i MiEV seems to be a practical electric car for city driving. Shame it's only here for feasibility studies, not to mention lots of gawking.

  • Subaru Stella EV

    It's taken a while, but Subaru's Stella EV will soon go on sale in Japan. With a limited 90km range, its trump card is a fast charging time — 15 minutes for an 80 per cent fill up from a quick charge point.

  • Volkswagen Passat Ling Yu fuel cell

    Don't let the plain Jane clothing fool you, there's impressive powertrain technology hiding in this Passat that emits only water as exhaust.

  • evMe

    The day when we whirr around silently in our electric cars is closer than we think, if the evMe is any indication. All that's needed is for battery prices to collapse, or a sweet boatload of Kevin07 cash.

  • Tesla Roadster

    It might be pricey and limited to the US and Europe, but the Roadster is an exciting glimpse into our, potentially, electric car future. Battery technology sure has come a long way since GM's ill-fated EV1.

  • Asus SDRW-08D1S-U External DVD-RW Drive

    External DVD writers are never going to be exciting, but at least Asus' effort looks pretty.

  • Tata Nano

    One windscreen wiper, one rear-view mirror, self-levelling headlights, and no rear hatch are part of the final Indian specs of the world's cheapest car.

  • Toyota Camry Hybrid (2010)

    Previewed with a coat of brilliant paint, a dash of blingy wheel action and a sprinkle of leather fantasy at Melbourne this year, the hybrid Camry is due on sale in 2010.

  • Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe (2009)

    Mazda has given its evergreen roadster a touch up, with a more aggro face, plusher armrests and, finally, MP3 player connectivity; the trick folding hard-top remains.

  • Skoda Superb Ambition 1.8 TSI (2009)

    Skoda's new Superb may not be a beauty queen, but its Twin Door system allows you to have a sedan-style boot for most occasions and a large hatchback for whenever you're hauling large objects.

  • BMW Z4 sDrive35i (2009)

    For the second-gen Z4, BMW has given it slightly smoother lines and a schmick-looking new folding hard-top. It also comes with a redesigned and much friendlier iDrive system for mixing your music and guiding your sat nav.

  • Nikon AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

    The Nikon AF-S DX 18-105mm f3.5-5.6G ED VR lens is a good choice for someone who wants more than the basic kit lens has to offer, while remaining compact and lightweight.

  • JVC DLA-HD350

    JVC's DLA-HD350 improves even further on the remarkable blacks of the DLA-HD1, and coupled with its extreme sharpness and better brightness, this is a bargain of gargantuan proportions.

  • Panasonic PT-AE3000

    The Panasonic PT-AE3000 is a 3LCD projector which features a native 1080p resolution, three HDMI ports and "Frame Creation technology".
